Suencuek 29
1 Te phoeiah Jakob loh a kho a kan tih khothoeng ca rhoek kah khohmuen la cet.
And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.
2 Te vaengah a sawt hatah lohma kah tuito khaw, tekah tuito lamkah tui te tuping a tul dongah tuping loh a kaep ah pathum la a kol uh khaw, tuito kah a rhai kah lungrhang te khaw lawt a hmuh.
And he looks, and behold! a well in the plain; and there were there three flocks of sheep resting at it, for out of that well they watered the flocks, but there was a great stone at the mouth of the well.
3 Te la tuping boeih a tingtun vaengah tuito rhai kah lungto te a paluet uh tih boiva te a tul uh. Te phoeiah lungto te tuito kah a rhai ah amah hmuen la a khueh uh.
And there were all the flocks gathered, and they used to roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the flocks, and set the stone again in its place on the mouth of the well.
4 Te dongah Jakob loh amih te, “Ka manuca rhoek nangmih he me lamkah rhoek lae,” a ti nah hatah, “Kaimih he Haran lamkah ni,” a ti uh.
And Jacob said to them, Brethren, whence are you? and they said, We are of Charrhan.
5 Te phoeiah amih te, “Nakhaw capa Laban te na ming uh a? a ti nah hatah, “Ka ming uh ta,” a ti uh.
And he said to them, Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? and they said, We do know [him].
6 Te dongah Jakob loh amih taengah, “Anih te a sading ngawn a? a ti nah hatah, “A sading tih a canu Rakhel khaw boiva neh halo ke,” a ti na uh.
And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold Rachel his daughter came with the sheep.
7 Te vaengah, “Kho muep om pueng ta he, boiva a tingtun tue moenih. Boiva te tuitul, te phoeiah hlah lamtah luem sak,” a ti nah.
And Jacob said, it is yet high day, it is not yet time that the flocks be gathered together; water you the flocks, and depart and feed them.
8 Tedae amih loh, “Tuping rhoek boeih tingtun tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te ka paluet uh daengah ni boiva khaw tui ka tuluh. Ka paluet thai uh pawt atah ka tul uh thai pawh,” a ti uh.
And they said, We shall not be able, until all the shepherds be gathered together, and they shall roll away the stone from the mouth of the well, then we will water the flocks.
9 Amih te a voek li vaengah Rakhel loh a napa kah tu dawn ham tu neh ha puei uh.
While he was yet speaking to them, behold, Rachel the daughter of Laban came with her father's sheep, for she fed the sheep of her father.
10 Tedae Jakob loh a nupu Laban canu Rakhel te khaw, a nupu Laban kah boiva te khaw a hmuh vanbangla Jakob te thoeih tih tuito rhai lamkah lungto te a paluet. Te phoeiah a nupu Laban kah boiva te tui a tul pah.
And it came to pass when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother, that Jacob came and rolled away the stone from the mouth of the well, and watered the sheep of Laban, his mother's brother.
11 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Rakhel te a mok dae a ol a huel tih rhap.
And Jacob kissed Rachel, and cried with a loud voice and wept.
12 Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel taengah amah te a napa kah huiko neh Rebekah capa ni tila a puen dongah Rakhel te yong tih a napa taengah puen.
And he told Rachel that he was the near relative of her father, and the son of Rebecca; and she ran and reported to her father according to these words.
13 Laban long khaw a ngannu capa Jakob kah olthang te a yaak van neh anih doe ham yong tih a kop phoeiah a mok tih amah im la a khuen vaengah hekah olka boeih te Laban taengah a tae pah.
And it came to pass when Laban heard the name of Jacob, his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced and kissed him, and brought him into his house; and he told Laban all these sayings.
14 Te dongah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang tah kamah rhuh neh saa pai ni,” a ti nah. Tedae anih taengah a khohnin hla la puet kho a sak.
And Laban said to him, You are of my bones and of my flesh; and he was with him a full month.
15 Te vaengah Laban loh Jakob taengah, “Nang he kamah huiko la na om dongah a hoeihae lam a kai taengah na thohtat eh? Kai taengah na thapang te thui,” a ti nah.
And Laban said to Jacob, Surely you shall not serve me for nothing, because you are my brother; tell me what your reward is to be.
16 Te vaengkah Laban canu rhoi tah, a ham ming te Leah tih, a noe ming te Rakhel la om.
Now Laban had two daughters, the name of the elder was Lea, and the name of the younger, Rachel.
17 Te vaengah Leah kah a mik te mongkawt dae Rakhel tah a suisak sakthen neh mueimae sakthen la om.
And the eyes of Lea were weak. But Rachel was beautiful in appearance, and exceedingly fair in countenance.
18 Tedae Jakob loh Rakhel te a lungnah dongah, “Na canu a noe Rakhel ham nang taengah kum rhih ka tho ka tat ni,” a ti nah.
And Jacob loved Rachel, and said, I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.
19 Te dongah Laban loh, “Hlang tloe te ka paek lakah nang taengah anih kan paek te then ngai tih kamah taengah khosa mai,” a ti nah.
And Laban said to him, [It is] better that I should give her to you, than that I should give her to another man; dwell with me.
20 Te vaengah Jakob loh Rakhel ham kum rhih thotat dae anih te a lungnah dongah a mik ah hnin at bangla om.
And Jacob served for Rachel seven years, and they were before him as a few days, by reason of his loving her.
21 Te phoeiah Jakob loh Laban te, “Ka khohnin khaw cup coeng tih ka yuu te m'pae lamtah anih taengah ka yalh pawn ni,” a ti nah.
And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.
22 Te dongah Laban loh te hmuen kah hlang boeih te a coi tih buhkoknah a saii.
And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a marriage-feast.
23 Tedae hlaem a pha vaengah tah a canu Leah te a khuen tih a paek dongah anih taengah Jakob yalh.
And it was even, and he took his daughter Lea, and brought her in to Jacob, and Jacob went in to her.
24 Te phoeiah Laban loh a canu Leah taengah amah kah taengom Zilpah te taengom la a paek.
And Laban gave to his daughter Lea, Zelpha his handmaid, as a handmaid for her.
25 Tedae mincang ah tah Leah te tarha a om pah. Te dongah Laban te, “Kai taengah balae na saii he? Rakhel ham nang taengah ka thoh ka tat moenih a? Tedae balae tih kai nan phok,” a ti nah.
And it was morning, and behold it was Lea; and Jacob said to Laban, What is this that you have done to me? did I not serve you for Rachel? and therefore have you deceived me?
26 Te vaengah Laban loh, “Kaimih kho ah caming hlanah a noe a paek ham te a saii noek moenih.
And Laban answered, It is not done thus in our country, to give the younger before the elder.
27 Tahae yalh he a boeih phoeiah kai ham kum rhih koep na thohtat atah tekah thohtatnah yuengla anih te nang taengah kan paek bal ni,” a ti nah.
Fulfil then her sevens, and I will give to you her also in return for your labour, which you labour with me, yet seven other years.
28 Te dongah Jakob loh a saii van tih tekah yalh a boeih phoeiah a canu Rakhel te anih yuu la amah taengah a paek.
And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her sevens; and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel to wife.
29 Te phoeiah Laban loh a canu Rakhel taengah amah kah taengom Bilhah te taengom la a paek.
And Laban gave to his daughter his handmaid Balla, for a handmaid to her.
30 Te vaengah Rakhel taengah a yalh bal hatah Rakhel te Leah lakah a lungnah ngai dongah anih ham kum rhih koep thotat.
And he went in to Rachel; and he loved Rachel more than Lea; and he served him seven other years.
31 Leah te a hnoel te BOEIPA loh a hmuh dongah a bung tah a ong. Tedae Rakhel te a yaa sak.
And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
32 Te dongah Leah te pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “BOEIPA loh kai kah phacipphabaem te a hmuh tih ka va loh kai n'lungnah taktak pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah a ming te Reuben a sui.
And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me.
33 Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Kai n'hnoel te BOEIPA loh a yaak dongah he khaw kai m'paek,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Simeon a sui.
And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon.
34 Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “Anih ham capa voei thum ka cun pah dongah ka va loh kai taengah naep pawn ni,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Levi a sui.
And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi.
35 Te phoeiah koep pumrhih tih capa a cun hatah, “BOEIPA te voei vai khaw ka uem eh?,” a ti. Te dongah anih ming te Judah a sui. Te phoeiah a ca cun te duem.
And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.
